Can India Be Eliminated From World Cup Today?

The biggest and most important clash of the ongoing edition of the T20 World Cup thus far is happening today with team India set to face Australia. While India is in a fairly comfortable position with 2/2 wins in the Super 8s, Australia is in a must-win position.

Coming to the topic, is there a possibility of India getting eliminated from the Super 8s stage today? Yes, there is a possibility, but it would take a miraculous result in not 1 but 2 games.

First, the margin of difference in India vs Australia and Afghanistan vs Bangladesh must be 123 runs.

For instance, if India loses to Australia by 50 runs and Afghanistan beats Bangladesh by 73 runs, then Australia will go ahead of India in terms of run rate and go through to the semis with India getting eliminated.

But the chances of this happening are very bleak, we must say. India is in fine form and the game between Afghanistan and Bangladesh is expected to be a close one anyway. But one must always note that funnier things have happened in cricket and that needs to be kept in mind.

All eyes are firmly on the India vs Australia game that is starting at 8 PM today. If India beats Australia, then the men in blue will top the table and go through to the semis.
